Lily blushed a little at his shock, wondering what he was thinking. It wasn't like she hadn't tried to change that but that hardly seemed the sort of thing to say to him. She doubted that he would want to know that she had begun turning to Lonely Hearts to try and jump start some sort of romance.
"No, I'm not," Lily confirmed when he said that she wasn't married. "I suppose no one else wants a young lady that falls off boats." Her words were an attempt at humor but there was a definite pang in the chest that came with them as she recalled when she had first met him. Had that really been so long ago? Standing here in front of him it felt both ages ago and like it was just yesterday all at the same time.
